Western Vacation Roundup TRAVEL SPECIAL PROMOTION If horses are in your blood, wide-open Western spaces make your heart happy and WESTERN you dream of vacationing in horse country, don’t miss Western Horseman’s collection of VACATION travel destinations, events and clinics. To get you started, here’s an overview of some ROUNDUP great getaway options. Top 5 Vacation Ideas for Horse People Backcountry Excursions (outfitters, trail rides, etc.) These types of vacations offer the best scenery that the West has to offer. You can soak up the peace and solitude at the cabins at 1 southwestern New Mexico’s Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch. For camping or cabin accommodations in the West, don’t miss Montana’s 7 Lazy P Outfitters and Utah’s Hondoo Rivers and Trails. Many of these destinations boast breathtaking scenery in National Parks best expe- rienced by horseback, such as the Bob Marshall Wilderness (7 Lazy P Outfitting), Bryce Canyon National Park (Ruby’s Horseback Adventures), Gila National Forest (Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch) and Capitol Reef National Park (Hondoo Rivers and Trails). Some vacation trips traverse multiple national parks, like the Red Rock Ride and Sombrero Ranches Horse Drive. To find a dude or guest ranch, don’t miss the locations curated by the Dude Ranchers’ Association. Cowboy Towns (historic towns and their attractions, such as museums) History and community merge in some parts of the West, offering visitors a slice of a bygone era. Towns such as Wickenburg, 2 Arizona, offer something for horse lovers, shoppers, outdoorsmen and history buffs alike. And Wickenburg is home to the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, which hosts events including the Cowgirl Up! Western Art Show. Horsemanship Clinics If your ideal vacation means brushing up on your horsemanship skills, many of the destinations listed here offer that chance. For 3 example, Peter Campbell Horsemanship Clinics in Wyoming are designed to take you to the next level with your horse, whether it is green or finished, dressage-trained or a cutter. Western Events (rodeos, art and gear shows, festivals, gatherings) You can plan your vacation around special Western events for a chance to gather with tack or art enthusiasts. Events such as the 4 Cowgirl Up! Art Show, Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering, and Trappings of Texas gear and art show, and the Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo offer attendees the chance to meet artisans and have an opportunity to purchase truly special pieces. Working Ranch Vacations Some vacations offer guests the experience of a real working ranch—nothing touristy about it. We’ve included Rowse’s 1+1 Ranch as 5 a great option for such a trip. You’ll feel a part of the family as you contribute to the daily tasks of running the ranch. You’ll leave rejuve- nated, with a new respect for the ranching lifestyle. 86 WESTERN HORSEMAN FEBRUARY 2017 WHMMG_170200_086_SAS.indd 86 12/19/16 10:21:05 AM OF TEXAS by Herman Walker by Water Break Water Custom Cowboy Gear and Western Art Opening Weekend April 20-22, 2017 Museum of the Big Bend Alpine, Texas In The Heart of the Big Bend!

Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.
